It is the fact that the earth's axis of rotation in slightly inclined (a bit less than 23.5 degrees) relative to its orbital plane that gives rise to the seasons and to seasonal changes here on earth.

How does the tilt of earths axis and its rotation affect the weather?

The same way it affects most of earth. The seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth's axis relative to the plane of its orbit.


How does tilt of earths rotation axis affect earth?

The tilt of Earth's rotation axis creates the different seasons by causing the amount of sunlight received at a given location to vary throughout the year. This tilt also affects climate patterns and the distribution of temperatures on Earth's surface, impacting weather systems and ecosystems.

How Does the tilt of earths axis affect the number of daylight hours and the temperature of a location on earths?

If the Earth's axis was vertical - every point on its surface would have the same length of day and night, no matter what time of year it was. The tilt of the axis (to about 11 degrees) means that, as the Earth rotates, and travels around the sun, the length of day shortens and lengthens throughout the year.
